"That's how much it can be solved." Xia Yang shouted, "Tens of thousands of displaced people can't solve a big problem at all." ”

Zheng Jiang didn't have a good way: "How much can be solved first, but what you said is really a problem." Didn't Xiao Junzhe propose to build a collective farm, and you agreed to this method, isn't it possible now? ”

"Lao Liang of the Agricultural Bureau has a new question." Xia Yang smiled bitterly, "It's easy to talk about collective farms, and it's easy to talk about dividing land, but what about farm tools and cattle, do we want to provide them for free." ”

Zheng Jiang spread his hands: "You really asked the wrong person about this, I don't care about money, I don't care about raising cattle, and you have to figure out how to do it yourself." ”

While the two were talking, a lieutenant officer came in and reported: "Report to Chairman Zheng, Chief Zeng has returned and is now at the dock." ”

"Zeng Guangxian is back?" Zheng Jiang and Xia Yang stood up at the same time, "Go, go, hurry up and take a look, I don't know if he met the cold ice and they didn't." ”

There were several warships neatly lined up in the dock of Yulin Bay, Zeng Guangxian stood on the dock with his hands behind his back and watched the naval soldiers carry things down from the battleship, and there was already a circle of traversers around him.

"Guangxian, Guangxian." Xia Yang shouted from afar, "Why are you back at this time?" ”

Xia Yang and Zheng Jiang walked in front of Zeng Guangxian, Zheng Jiang pointed at Zeng Guangxian and smiled: "It's a lot darker, if you were a few days later, I would think that another boat came from Africa." ”

A traverser took over the words and said with a smile: "Chairman Zheng, there is no need to be a few days late, now Guangxian is almost the same as Africans." ”

"Don't hurt me." Zeng Guangxian laughed, "Good guy, after going out for a few months, I can't recognize myself coming." ”

Xia Yang stopped joking and asked in a low voice, "Guangxian, is there any emergency, why don't we go to Zheng Jiang and sit there?" ”

Zeng Guangxian had already heard the other traversers talk about the current situation a moment or two just now, and immediately replied: "There is no special situation, you call Chairman Zhang and go to talk together." ”

Several people came to the conference room of the Military Commission, and Zhang Guodong and Wang Hua also rushed over.

"Guangxian, let's talk about the situation in the Philippines first." Zheng Jiang said, "You have been out for several months this time, and your family is dying, why don't you let a carrier pigeon come back, did you encounter cold ice on the road?" ”

"Don't mention it." Zeng Guangxian smiled bitterly, "What about carrier pigeons, they will almost become suckling pigeons in the Philippines." As soon as I went, it wilted, probably because I was not accustomed to the water and soil, and the three carrier pigeons I brought were all hung. ”

"Don't talk about that yet, just come back." Zhang Guodong was anxious to know the situation in the Philippines, "What happened over there, what was the reaction of the Spaniards, and whether the massacre in history took place." ”

Zeng Guangxian gave a detailed account of the situation in the Philippines, and the Spaniards were quite surprised by the arrival of the visiting fleet in Yulin Bay, but they did not show any hostility and entertained Zeng Guangxian step by step. Zeng Guangxian naturally did not reveal his true intention to go to the Philippines, but talked about trade with the Spaniards according to the pre-negotiated agreement, and promised that when the time was right, all the routes from Southeast Asia to Daming and Japan could be opened, and everyone would compete fairly for free trade.

Zeng Guangxian stayed in the Philippines for nearly two months, and he sent people out to have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of the Filipino Chinese. At present, there are about 30,000 Chinese in the Philippines, and they are basically concentrated in the Kabalan area. In the original history, the Spaniards forced the Chinese to abandon agriculture and business, and forced the Chinese in Kabalan to pay land rent, which caused the Chinese to riot, and the second massacre occurred.

Zeng Guangxian went at the same time, the Spaniards' cabalan plan had not yet been implemented, and Zeng Guangxian also conveyed the attitude of the Ming Empire in righteous words, no matter what, it is the obligation and responsibility of the Ming Empire to protect every Chinese overseas. The Spaniards abandoned the Cabalan plan for the time being, and instead expressed their willingness to cooperate with Yulin Bay, as long as they could open up all markets in Southeast Asia.

Zeng Guangxian also conveyed the meaning of the Ming court on behalf of the Chinese who wanted Kabalan in Yulin Bay, although the court did not mean this at all. At the same time, Zeng Guangxian left a reinforced company of 200 troops stationed in Kabalan, although the number is not large, but it also represents a gesture. The Spaniards were very opposed to the Ming Dynasty's entry into Kabalan at first, but Zeng Guangxian once again repeated his old trick and conducted a military exercise in the Philippines, and the Spaniards stopped saying anything and acquiesced in the garrison of Yulin Bay.

These 200 people had a mission, and this mission was Zeng Guangxian's temporary decision, to recruit soldiers among the local Chinese and form a regiment of at least 1,000 to 2,000 people, so as to prepare for the future invasion of the Philippines.

"So there should be no problem in the Philippines right now." Zhang Guodong fell into deep thought after saying a word.

"Chairman Zhang, ladies and gentlemen." Zeng Guangxian asked, "I don't know much about the current situation at home, but I heard so many words when I was at the dock just now, why did Leng Tianbing and Sun Tianhao also go to the Philippines?" ”

"They went to contact the Spaniards, and something new happened to the north." Zheng Jiang briefly talked about the decision of Xi'an and Zeng Guangxian about the family's decision, and then said, "Guangxian, this trip is hard, go back and have a good rest first." Since the massacre in the Philippines did not happen, we can rest assured, let's go to work the day after tomorrow, now that there are fewer people at home, you still have to work hard. ”

"No need for the day after tomorrow, go back and sleep tomorrow." Zeng Guangxian smiled, "Anyway, I'm still alone now, and I'm staying by myself." ”

Fan Wencheng really stayed in Jinzhou and didn't leave, Xu Lang found a remote place to settle him, and arranged for people from the Ministry of Security to accompany him 24 hours a day.

A few days have passed, Jinzhou is still peaceful, Fan Wencheng's heart is a little nervous, is Xu Lang lying to himself, just detaining himself in Jinzhou?

Just when Fan Wencheng was anxious, Xu Lang found him: "Master Fan, get ready, tomorrow the official will take you to meet someone." However, Master Fan has to promise the official one thing, no matter what you see or hear, you must not speak, let alone reveal your identity, I don't know if Master Fan can agree? ”

Fan Wencheng was extremely conflicted, he wanted to hear the news but didn't want to hear it. Now hearing Xu Lang say this, Fan Wencheng didn't answer a word, just nodded, indicating that he would obey the arrangement.

Early the next morning, Gao Chen changed Fan Wencheng into a military uniform of the Ming Army, hid his braids, buttoned a hat on his head, and told again: "Master Fan, don't reveal your identity today, everything will be talked about when we come back." ”
